Actually, I have had a disk not play in a stanbd alone player - my friend's panasonic!

Just wondered how you structering (sorry - can't spell today) the dvd? How many videos, chapters or sub menus? Could it be the players don't like that? Have you tried a simple DVD with just a single video and menu?

Thanks everyone for all your comments. First of all I use MF4 to author to an ISO file, then Nero to burn the ISO file, always with no title menu but a chapter menu with 6 motion icons. Secondly I think there is a problem with some Panasonic DVD players, althouh they will ALWAYS play a commercially bought DVD title. Thirdly I am now only burning at 4x (thanks for the advice) and getting much better results, especially forwarding to chapter points in DVDs (what speed are commercial DVDs burnt at???). I will try Yueden disks when I have gone through this stack of Taiwanese Riteks - goodness knows what they really are - they are definitely not the good stuff that others here have praised. Thanks again.

Commercial DVD's are not burned, They are manufactured with the content sort of stamped into it, the material is also different. View the surface of a DVD-R etc and you can see the area where you have burned your image, you do not get this with a commercial DVD.
